Tatiana Weston-Webb

Tatiana "Tati" Guimarães Weston-Webb (born May 9, 1996 ) is a Brazilian surfer based in Kauai, Hawaii. She competed in both the 2020 and 2024 Summer Olympics for Brazil, winning silver in the latter and because of that she became the first woman surfer from Brazil to win a medal at the Olympics.

Personal life Weston-Webb's father, Douglas Weston-Webb, was born in England, a descendant of a family engaged in the textile business. The Weston-Webb name is a heritable double-barrelled surname, created through the marriage of two children from significant families in that industry.

Weston-Webb's mother, Tanira Weston-Webb , was a Brazilian professional body boarder, under sponsorship by two industry companies.

In 2011, she played 11-year-old Bethany Hamilton in the film Soul Surfer.

In 2020, she married longtime boyfriend Jessé Mendes dos Santos, a Brazilian fellow professional surfer from Guarujá, São Paulo, who competes under the name Jessé Mendes.

Competition background In 2015 Weston-Webb secured a spot in the World Championship Tour.

On April 29, 2018, she announced her switch to Brazil representation for the remainder of the 2018 WSL Championship Tour season, aiming to compete representing her native country in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, one of her dreams since surfing was announced as an official Olympic sport. In the 2024 Summer Olympics, Weston-Webb reached the final, and only lost the gold to world champion Caroline Marks by a score of 0.18.
